Diet plan. I'm new. Why not ask the vets, am i right?

[New2Thiss]

Ok Forum gurus, the floor is yours. Man, I need help with my diet or lack there of.

I'm 21, I weigh 200lb at about 20%bf. My goal is to get down to 180-185 at 4-7%bf.

I need help with a diet plan. I'm looking for what to eat, how much to eat, protein shakes (homemade vs powder), etc. I'm essentially coming to the forums like a lost puppy and hoping y'all can steer me in the right direction.

Any and all insight is appreciated.

new welcome man!

4-7% is a very ambitious goal and i think for now u may wanna focus on getting to 10-12% and then re-evaluate. its gonna take a difft method to get to where ur talking about (more than likely). i am in the process of trying to figure out just how to do that. i started last year at 26% and have managed to get down to 12%(ish) rite now. once u get where im at (especially for an previously fat guy) it gets a lot harder and the game changes.
